Geee Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 AOl.com: Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has climbed into a virtual tie with real-estate magnate Donald Trump, according to a new poll. A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday shows Carson with 20 percent support among Republican primary voters nationally, just 1 point below Trump. Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) tied for third in the poll, both grabbing 11 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I will so glad when he is gone! When Trump started I was amused, then moved on to unapproval...dislike I am now well within the parameters of loath. I mean I really really really don't like him, and his supporters.

Casino67 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 He is just a novelty, a novelty that will soon wear off. Then he will just say everyone is stupid and quietly suspend his campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geee Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Is there any historical precedent for Donald Trump? Michael Barone In November 1964, a crowd of 5,000 attended the opening of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, then the longest suspension bridge in the world. Presiding were New York Mayor Robert Wagner, Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and transportation and parks czar Robert Moses. Also in the crowd was a teenager named Donald Trump. Trump later told a New York Times reporter that he remembered that on that occasion no one mentioned the name of 85-year-old Othmar Ahmann, designer of New York's famous bridges for more than 50 years. "I realized then and there that if you let people treat you how they want, you'll be made a fool," he told the Times. "I don't want to be anyone's sucker." That helps explain why Trump has plastered his name on his hotels and private airliner. But it also raises this question: What was Donald Trump, an 18-year-old Fordham freshman, doing in a select crowd of celebrities? The answer is that Trump's entire life has been marinated in politics. His father Fred Trump made millions building apartments in Brooklyn and Queens. It didn't hurt, when it came to land assembly and public subsidies, that he was a key supporter of Brooklyn machine Democrats and a close friend and ally of Abraham Beame, city controller in 1964 and later mayor. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/is-there-any-historical-precedent-for-donald-trump/article/2572781 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Is there any historical precedent for Donald Trump? Actually I was thinking Huey Long, and any number of populist politicians. Huey was the 1st one that came to mind, followed closely by William Jennings Bryan. The 1st comment Page TurnerThe question is - is there any historical precedent for making Americans wage slaves to the government? Yes. George III. How'd that turn out Not exactly sure what this is supposed to mean...but I'm sure its deeply insightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
